This Review is of the Property Management Department within Bournes Lettings Agent in Alton, Hants. They have repeatedly neglected to respond to reports by us the Tenants of problems with the property, maintenance issues are not dealt with, items not fit for purpose reports ignored. We have several outstanding reports existing for several months that we have not received any emails, phone calls or any form of contact from them about. I even contacted the Landlord directly to seek his help and...

Thank you for your comment on our All Agents review page, it's disappointing to hear that you haven't received the care and attention you would expected from our services, for which we apologise profusely. I am sure there are many reasons as to why, however, Bourne take all reviews constructively and professionally and will always endeavour to better ourselves based on experiences from customers and clients. We would appreciate the opportunity to rectify this and I would appreciate the time ...

We recently bought a property that was marketed through Bourne. We had a very difficult time with the chain below us and Gemma was fantastic in being really pro active, keeping on top of the process the whole way and most of all being very reassuring. Something that was sincerely lacking in the agents we were using to sell our property. I wish we had used Bourne and will certainly use them in the future. Above all, I want honesty, transparency and efficiency from an agent and I think Bourne stri...

Jon was amazing with helping us get into a property quickly with the added bonus of sorting a property which allowed our dog. The process was so easy and everything was sorted quickly. Jon was always available for additional viewing for us and was always on the end of the phone or email answering any questions we had. We are now all moved into our new home and are very happy with the service we received from the agents!...

Had a great experience with Bourne estate agents, Alton. The viewing was great and we fell in love with the property instantly. There was no hard selling and felt I could freely walk around the house. Knew the area very well. Moved in within a week of viewing. Was a quick service and was happy to deal with any questions. Will be using them again if needed!...

I've just read the post left by "KM" and felt I had to have my say. Let me state from the outset, I'm a real customer of Bourne in Alton. They handled the sale of my father's property in March 2015 and subsequent move to Alton I rarely review anything online, but the comment by "KM" couldn't be further from the experience we had with Bourne, so I wanted to lend some perspective. They handled the sale of an unusual, but not straightforward period property and subsequent purch...

I originally placed my property on the market with another agent in the town and they were unsuccessful in selling my property. Bourne were excellent at ensuring that the right potential buyer viewed my property and they were fully aware of the details of the property before arranging a viewing. Their communication from instruction through to completion of the sale has been exceptional and would highly recommend anyone considering selling their property to instruct Bourne Estate Agents. They a...

Dealing with this estate agent has renewed our faith in the industry, there are some stars out there with your interest at heart. Dealing with Gemma Miller from the outset was a delight. Its safe to say my wife and I agree that in our experience she is peerless. The service was efficient, transparent when needed and seamless. We both felt we had someone in our corner. When problems arose, when our own estate agent hid behind their desk, Gemma resolved issues not even belonging to her on our...

Bourne estate agents are one of the most professional agents I've dealt with. Their honest, pragmatic and sensible approach to helping us sell our house was a breath of fresh air compared to many in Alton. Throughout the sale process Bourne had our best interests at heart and nothing was every too much of an issue they even helped with all the pre-sales paperwork and never-ending enquiries from the buyer's solicitor. Everyone at Bourne was aware of our sale so when Gemma was out on viewings some...

From the time Andrew came to do the valuation until the sale was completed we could not have asked for better service. We have lived here for nearly thirty years so did not really know what to do or expect. Gemma could not have been more helpful, from recommending a conveyanceing solicitor to calming our nerves when a member of the chain started trying to delay things, Gemma was always on the end of the phone to sort us, and anybody else out. We would thoroughly recommend Bournes for first rate ...

I have been telling people that using Bourne's to sell my house has entirely changed my opinion of estate agents. (Really ). I have to say that my previous experiences had left me feeling less than convinced about the expertise of estate agents in general. Andrew Miller was patient, careful and measured in his initial valuation visit, leaving us feeling that he was a man we could trust. At that point we had no purchase in view. He made no wild claims about the success of the Alton agency but ...

I just wanted to write to say how much my wife and I appreciated all the help and support we received from Bournes whilst renting one of their managed properties. Stapley Cottage (24 Middle Bourne Lane). It was an extremely stressful time for us and whilst we were only in the property for 7 months, the service we received from Bournes was excellent. Inevitably there were a few issues that came up but every single one was dealt with and the suppliers they use, arrived when they said they would...

I am appalled by their aggressive approach and sharp practise - constantly knocking on my door and telephoning but worst of all pestering my elderly mother who shares our home and is often alone home when my husband and I are at work. Does a foot in the door and virtually forcing your way into a home against the wishes of an 83 year old lady really represent this company in an acceptable way. I regret the day I ever entered their office....

I found Jenna to be very helpful and polite and was always willing to answer questions and queries. She always returned phone calls the same day and was eager to ensure that you were kept up to date with the progress. Kieran was also friendly and helpful as he covered Jenna's holiday and I found both to be professional and knowledgeable. My only complaint is that now I have been in the property for just over a month a leaking radiator that I reported in the first week and have chased for a resp...

Bourne had the lowest of the fees being charged by Estate Agents in the area although I did find them to be very high especially when they do a minimal of paper work and I had to chase to be sent the inventory and a copy of the signed agreement. The company that they use to carry out the inventory did not complete a very thorough documentation and I had to request several issues to be added.

Overall our experience with Bourne Estate Agents was excellent. Jenna was very helpful and made sure we were kept up to date with everything and was always available to answer our phone calls. Kieran was also very helpful when Jenna was on leave! Our only complaint would be with the referencing agency the agents use. They were incompetent, and very unprofessional. They never returned phone calls when they said they would, and not one person from the next knew what was going on. They were not c...

It's been a pleasure to deal with Bourne as house buyers, and specifically with Gemma who was our point of contact throughout the transaction. Bourne introduced us to a recommended, local mortgage broker and similarly to local solicitors, and having the three parties known to each other was a great help in smoothing the process. Gemma was friendly, approachable, professional and always available throughout the purchase. Her calm manner was reassuring when we came up against the occasion...

Dealings on the whole with Bourne were great, I dealt with Jenna and she was fantastic. She dealt with me from the first phone call to the day we moved in. The move took longer than I think we both expected but this was due to the landlord initially being off and then some work needed doing to the house before we moved in, this was not a fault of Bourne and I could tell that Jenna did do everything within her power to help us. She was also great when we met with the landlord and I felt very conf...

Bourne Estate Agents provided an excellent service, and went above and beyond their duty to ensure the house was sold in a smooth and diligent manner. One thing that makes them stand out among the rest is the personal touch. They really want the best outcome for all parties, rather than looking out for number one (a common perception for Estate Agents). A special thanks for Gemma, who dealt with the sell of the house. I found her to be approachable, informative and personable. Highly recommended...

Kieran Lamb managed the re-letting of our property; the day to day handling of this was taken care of by Jenna Yates. Jenna carried out an outstanding job, sourcing prospective tenants, keeping us informed of viewings, and identifying suitable tenants to match our criteria. Jenna liaised with the maintenance team to ensure some remedial work was completed ahead of our new tenants taking occupancy and also carried out some checks on the house whilst unoccupied, including taking photographs of p...
